While I agree entirely that Linux in 2026 has never been more usable… how much actual work is being put into Office and 365 tooling native on Linux?
Like none. Literally the best office you MIGHT KIND OF be able to run in 2016, but probably more like 2013.
Valve focused on games, that is awesome and really helpful…
But there are 10,000 distros and instead of putting real resources to put even rickety bridges over MS’s moat, no sorry, this team is making duplication-of-effort distro 10,001 which is now identical to thousands of others but the taskbar is in the middle of screen.
The people working on Linux are consistently uninterested in then things people would need to drop windows.

Why the hell would you want that? Office365 is a buggy piece of nightmare.
Because even though you don’t like a thing, the entire world of business uses it.
Hold your nose and work on WINE if you need to think that way. But MS has moats, and office is one of the widest.
I think business are going to be forced to change their thinking on this. Im not interesting in emulating windows progs in wine. I switched to Thunderbird a long time ago and other programs that give me the features I need with-out sacrificing my freedom.
